I don't know but biting into one, it just became mush with sauce. The sauce tastes canned. The Italian was three layers, one salami and two that didn't resemble and traditional Italian cold cuts but more like spicy baloney. The onions were cut in store but the pickles again seemed like canned chopped pickles. A large sub here is pretty small in size When the worker grabbed the roll I though she was making someone's small Nope It's just a tiny large and averaging $12 each you can find better. The restaurant has been in Gloucester for years and that's why I checked it out but it was not very good unfortunately.

So attentive and willing to request what my dietary restrictions called for, and suggested options that were perfect for me and my family. Thank you!!! Ambiance - very upbeat place with nice fixtures and updated seating. Could use double the size, but it might lose the charm. Perfect place in a great location. The owner, Jack, popped by our table to see how everything was going. Very kind and compassionate. Offered a personal gesture that my family might not even have done for me. Thank you and you have our best support and personal referral!!! This location has fresh great quality food that's cooked the way you request and great dishes that taste great. Cannot wait to return!

Food was good; the steak bruschetta was flavorful and an interesting combination of flavors…read more Haddock sandwich was decent. Nicely portioned, flaky piece of fish with fresh lettuce, tomato and thinly sliced onion. The fries were crisp, hot and salted perfectly. The tartar sauce was predictably if uneventful at best. The fried shrimp and fish n chips were cooked perfectly and portioned well. The ambiance was nice, decor is contemporary nautical, elegant and tasteful. As the crowd gathered, the noise level became unbearable. Couldn't hold a conversation without shouting across our tiny table. Our server was pulling double duty as bartender and handling two tables across from the bar which was unmanageable for one person. Service was slow... like really slow. 120 min for three fried entrees and one app. and we weren't in a rush but it took forever. I felt badly as they could have easily turned this table 2-3 times more than they did. Beer was cold. Ice water was aplenty. Food 7/10. Service was polite and friendly but slow as molasses. They need a full time bartender asap at least for weekend evenings when it's busier. For some added yet unexpected entertainment a rude senior was addressed by the manager for clanging his silverware on a glass for no reason other than to be rude and annoying while trying to get the attention of his server. This caused a bit of a stir because he raised his voice in disdain to being criticized for not acting appropriately. His childish tantrum was handled efficiently by the manager. She admirably suggested he leave the premises which would have been supported by the other patrons. Those present seemed to think an apology by this customer to the server for being disrespectful was in order but that didn't happen. Just an unfortunate event for an already struggling staff trying to shake things out at a newer business. The server didn't deserve this at all. I think they will be fine once all cylinders are firing.

Their coffee program, however, needs a MASSIVE upgrade to match their stellar culinary offerings. I can tell that I shouldn't even bother ordering an espresso drink when a place has a giant old-school espresso machine and a tub of shiny dark roasted beans. My instincts were right. Abysmal coffee. If I gave it a letter grade: C or even C- while the food ranks as an A.

He pushed us towards the bar and we ordered drinks. After our 7:45 reservation came and went, a dish of almonds appeared where we were standing with our cocktails. We never ordered these, as I am allergic to tree nuts. We just pushed them to the side and thought nothing of it. When we eventually sat at a table for dinner, we ordered drinks, oysters, and two pizzas. One pizza has cheese and the other pizza (the Rosso) is only sprinkled with Parmesan, and is commonly known in Italy as a pizza senza formaggio. After waiting over 40 minutes for our food after being sat late, only the cheese pizza arrived. We waited over 20 minutes and talked to our waiter and kitchen multiple times to see what was going on with the other pizza. Apparently the pizza chef kept burning the cheese free pizza, an item on their menu that he is apparently not able to make. Finally the pizza was made, and the manager delivered it to the table next to us. They asked why they were given a pizza without cheese, and we had to walk over to the table to grab it. Our waiter came over and asked if everything turned out, and we shared we were disappointed the manager gave the pizza to the wrong table. He told us he had nothing to do with that and was embarrassed. After we started eating, our waiter came back to tell us the pizza and the almonds were comped. We had never ordered the almonds, and shared that we were surprised we would have been charged for something we never ordered and shared my allergies. He said it was the best his manager allowed him to do. Not once did the manager come by to apologize for delivering the pizza to the wrong table or for messing up our order or for making our experience so poor. To be "comped" something we didn't order as an apology for our table wait was absurd. Terrible experience, mediocre food, incompetent manager. Would not recommend.

You can tell this establishment is a small, local business. The food was SO GOOD too. Honestly some of the best nachos I have ever had. They hand fry their own tortillas which meant the chips didn't get soggy. The clam chowder and mac n cheese tasted gourmet. And my partner said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had.
